Russia has a relatively small population.
Russia has a relatively small economy.
Russia’s military has not covered itself in glory in Ukraine.

Why would Russia now pick a fight with NATO? Does anyone think that Russia is going to invade Western Europe?

People should understand that something else is going on. Maybe WE are picking a fight with THEM? We are the prime movers here — do we understand our motives? We delude ourselves if we think that we are the Good Guys.

FTA
The US will establish a permanent headquarters for its 5th Army Corps in Poland, send 5,000 additional troops to Romania and increase rotational deployments in the Baltic states, Biden said, as part of efforts to stiffen Nato’s first line of defences against possible attack. (emphasis mine)

One notes that the EU comprises about 450 million, and Europe including the non-EU nations 700 million in total. So "we need to lead the new world order" Biden wants a population of half that size to add to the military in Europe? And pay for it and more? Because NATO isn't strong enough in Europe?

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Meanwhile with the mandate for vaccinations ongoing in the US military, retention is way down, and the DoD has "relaxed" new recruit criteria to not even have a GED because new recruitment is down in double digit percentages. Even the kids don't want to be fodder for Biden's new world order.

Meanwhile our border being invaded. Maybe some day we won’t be the world’s policeman. Donald Trump started to fix that. But Biden may get us into WW-III.

Boy, this was some summit. They hardly missed a beat in their search to antagonize. Liz Truss has been a disaster for Britain and now she wants to reposition the NORTH ATLANTIC Treaty Organiztion (NATO) to “poke the dragon.” Why is she directing NATO to interfere in Asia? On top of that she kind of loses her “invading a sovereign nation” stump speech when as a matter of fact Taiwan is in China.

This won’t go well...:-(

NATO SUMMIT

West must stand up to China over Taiwan threat, says Truss

Chris Smyth, Whitehall Editor, Madrid

Wednesday June 29 2022, 11.20am BST, The Times

Liz Truss told the Nato summit in Madrid that the West must “defeat Russia and negotiate later” — not just for Ukraine but also to deter China

Liz Truss called China an “aggressor” as she urged the West to stand up to Bejiing to prevent an invasion of Taiwan.

The foreign secretary said she feared that China would make a “catastrophic miscalculation” by attacking Taiwan as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pulls Beijing and Moscow closer together.

She fears that the West is being “complacent” over China, and she wants to boost arms sales to Taiwan and reduce the use of China in key supply chains.
